50 Bar Chart
The bar chart is the most basic chart type.
Charts are graphical representations of numerical data. It is possible to switch between different representations
of an existing chart, by changing the Chart Type in the Chart Properties: General (page 593)
page.
The quickest way to create a new bar chart is to select Quick Chart Wizard (page 747) from the Tools
menu.
By right-clicking the object, the Bar Chart: Object Menu (page 597) will be displayed. It can also be
accessed from the Object menu, when the bar chart is the active object.
For information on the chart types available in QlikView, see Chart Types (page 595).

A new chart can be created by clicking on the Create Chart tool in the toolbar, by a right-click on an
empty sheet area and selecting New Sheet Object, Chart from Object menu or by selecting New Sheet
